Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method of modeling hyperspectral images, comprising: using a processor to execute computer executable components stored in a memory to perform the following acts: generating a three-dimensional scene in a first frame including generating objects and materials in the scene; selecting a first hyperspectral band; adjusting at least one of: a reflectivity of at least one of the objects or materials in the scene to correspond to reflectivity in the first hyperspectral band, or an emissivity of at least one spectral source to correspond to the emissivity of the at least one spectral source in the first hyperspectral band; generating, by rendering, a first spectral frame of the three-dimensional scene; selecting a second hyperspectral band; adjusting at least one of: a reflectivity of at least one of the objects or materials in the scene to correspond to reflectivity in the second hyperspectral band, or an emissivity of at least one spectral source in the scene to correspond to the emissivity of the at least one spectral source in the second hyperspectral band; generating, by rendering, a second spectral frame of the three-dimensional scene; and assembling the first and second spectral frames into a hyperspectral frame.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the generating the first or second spectral frame, by rendering, includes rendering the three-dimensional scene as a two-dimensional frame.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the generating the first or second spectral frames includes changing the spectral response to model predetermined sensors.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the first and second hyperspectral bands include contiguous hyperspectral bands.
5. The method of claim 1 further comprising: selecting a third hyperspectral band; adjusting at least one of: a reflectivity of at least one of the objects or materials in the scene to correspond to reflectivity in the third hyperspectral band, or an emissivity of at least one spectral source in the scene to correspond to the emissivity of the at least one spectral source in the third hyperspectral band; generating, by rendering, a third spectral frame of the three-dimensional scene; and assembling the first, second and third spectral frames into the hyperspectral frame.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising updating the hyperspectral image based on changes to at least one of the objects or materials.
7. The method of claim 1 wherein the generating the three-dimensional scene includes incorporating models for light sources, atmospherics and objects.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the generating the three-dimensional scene includes assigning materials to the objects.
9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising changing at least one of the objects or object models for the second hyperspectral band.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: updating the scene to represent time-varying motion; selecting another hyperspectral band; adjusting at least one of: a reflectivity of at least one of the objects or materials in the scene to correspond to reflectivity in the another hyperspectral band, or an emissivity of at least one spectral source in the scene to correspond to the emissivity of the at least one spectral source in the another hyperspectral band; generating, by rendering, another spectral frame of the three-dimensional scene; and assembling the first, second and another spectral frames into the hyperspectral frame.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein updating the scene to represent time-varying motion includes at least one of moving, articulating or transforming at least one object in the scene.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating materials in the scene is based at least in part on material properties accessed via a database.
13. A method of modeling hyperspectral images, comprising: using a processor to execute computer executable components stored in a memory to perform the following acts: generating a three-dimensional scene in a first frame including generating objects and materials in the scene; selecting a set of hyperspectral bands; adjusting at least one of a reflectivity of at least one of the objects or materials in the scene to correspond to reflectivity in each of the hyperspectral bands included in the set of hyperspectral bands, or an emissivity of at least one spectral source to correspond to the emissivity of the at least one spectral source in each of the hyperspectral bands included in the set of hyperspectral bands; generating, by rendering, a spectral frame of the three-dimensional scene for each of the hyperspectral bands included in the set of hyperspectral bands; and generating, based on the spectral frames, a hyperspectral frame.
14. The method of claim 13 wherein the set of hyperspectral bands include contiguous hyperspectral bands.
15. The method of claim 14 wherein the contiguous hyperspectral bands include at least 16 contiguous hyperspectral bands.
16. The method of claim 13 wherein the generating the three-dimensional scene includes incorporating models for light sources, atmospherics and objects.
17. The method of claim 16 wherein the generating the three-dimensional scene includes assigning materials to the objects.
18. The method of claim 16 further comprising changing at least one of the objects or object models for hyperspectral bands included in the set of hyperspectral bands.
19. The method of claim 13 further comprising updating the scene to represent time-varying motion for a subset of the set of hyperspectral bands.
20. The method of claim 19 wherein updating the scene to represent time-varying motion includes at least one of moving, articulating or transforming at least one object in the scene.
